Yes, it's boxed wine. The days of that being a bad thing are over. Boxed wine stays fresher longer, so you never drink more than you want just to finish a bottle. Add that with the ability to store four bottles of premium wine for up to six weeks at 50% less than the cost of comparable bottles, and it's the definition of savvy.
This is an open tasting and free to the public.
